You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Hi
A number of us have started using dropbox paper at work. We want to save documents that we create in paper to an existing Team folder but I can't see how to do this. Any ideas anyone?
That's my understanding at least.
From the Drobox Help website:
Are my Paper docs stored in my Dropbox folders?It depends if you’re using the old or new release of Dropbox Paper.
If you’re on the old release of Dropbox Paper, your Paper docs are stored in Paper folders in your account on paper.dropbox.com. If you’re on the new 2020 release of Dropbox Paper, your Paper docs are stored in your account on dropbox.com, with your other files and folders.
To find out if you’re using the old or new release of Dropbox Paper:
- Sign in to dropbox.com.
- Click Create new file.
- If you see Dropbox Paper in the dropdown menu, then you’re using the new 2020 release of Dropbox Paper.
- If you don’t see Dropbox Paper in the dropdown menu, then you’re using the old release.
So....how do we get it again? Seems I'm on the old version. It's middle of Q2 now...
Me too are really disappointed by dropbox.
I'm still on the old Paper version and don't understand why we are not migrated yet to the new one.Those people awaiting the new Paper 2020 will be disappointed also when they start using the new version. I have some friends new dropbox users that have the new Paper so I gave a look: yes your paper files are saved into your dropbox file system like text files but if you look carefully inside you'll find that there are merely link to somewhere else content, the paper file doesn't have inside what you have written but instead just a link to some cloud resources.
That is not what people here are expecting to have.

Some good news! I just contacted support and asked about the 2020 Paper. The agent told me the first half of 2020 it is expected to be rolled out to every user. She confirmed it should be this month or in June. Fingers crossed. Although I am kind of disappointed it may not meet my expectations based on what wmac mentioned.
If true, that is exciting!
We've been looking for this feature since 2015? How come it hasn't risen to the level of notice of the Dropbox developers? Their integration will come in handy and would love for this feature to be available in the near future.
the fact that has yet to be addressed is profoundly furstrating.
Dropbox has said they are rolling it out later this year, but until then, you have a way solving for this. I did it. It takes some legwork, but in the end it solves the problem.
Ready?
Create a new account. Done.
Now, you say, but all my files are with my current account.
And therein lies the legwork. Create the new account. Migrate your files. Update your email. Update your payment info.
Done. ... Better than waiting for who knows how much longer till Dropbox drops their update.
Justin, I'm curious as to how that plan handles shared folders. Does it retain the integrity of any shared folders or does the sharing need to be reestablished for each folder?
